Troubleshooting iPhone Audio:

A. Define "Weak":

How you you define "weak", when it comes to iPhone sound? Does it seem there is not enough bass, nor treble?

B. Report this to Apple:

I'm having a similar issue. The volume and overall sound feels very muffled on my 17 Pro. It's much harder to hear certain notifications like texts on my 17 Pro compared to my 16e on the same volume. I don't know if this is a software thing or whether the full aluminum build of the 17 Pro muffles the sound more than the 16e.

Same concern, maxed volume, speaker and in call / media playback is noticeably lower than 15 pro max.

i hope this gets fixed in a software update.
